Hi HN, I was wondering: whenever I (a developer) have had meetings with "business people" in my company, it seemed like they were speaking a completely different language. Yes it w…

I've built Caloree an iOS/Mac app that allows you to track your daily calorie intake, go on a calorie deficit diet and track your weight which has worked wonders for me. It's freem…

The company Stefan founded is just 5km (around 3 miles) away from where I live. I have friends who either worked or still work there. I also met a bunch of the folks at InnoQ over …

Absolutely, that would be great!

I was just about to comment about my dear of bumping into a grizzly bear while hiking there, but apparently “only” black bears live on Vancouver Island. That would still keep me aw…

Makes sense, happy to report that this will make it into the next version amongst some other things that didn't make it into the MVP. Thanks a lot for your feedback! As for the foo…

I did but never got a response unfortunately.

Completely off-topic, but I was an avid IH user before I somehow lost my password. For some strange reason resetting the password doesn‘t work for me. It tells me it‘s going to sen…

Hi quickthrower2, thanks for the feedback. Glad you like it and apologies for the late reply. I somehow totally missed that there were comments in this thread. I got a lot of feedb…

Apologies for the late reply. Somehow I didn't catch what was going on here :| Your are indeed correct, it is indeed an BMR calculation, specifically I use a revised Harris-Benedic…

Hi all, over the last 2 years I've been on and off building my app for iPhone. Caloree is basically a freemium calorie tracker/food diary with the ability to only track calories. T…

This is definitely not one of these balloons. Check out the discontinued Google Loon project to see a closer representation of what the world was looking at. I have used weather ba…

I recently got interested in installing a TTN gateway in my home and adding some temperature sensors. Having played with LoRa years ago my thought was that there should now be read…

I have a genuine question which I have been wondering about for sole time: Is there anything positive to this “one nation can veto everything” rule? It feels like this is really bl…

Hi all , around a year ago after becoming frustrated with existing calorie counter/diet tracking apps mostly due to the fact that you have to pay a monthly subscription fee. It see…

Came here to say exactly this. Great job! :)

Yes, same here! I got my first Mac with 7.5.3. It was a Performa 5200CD. Good times :)

Starlink will be a LEO (low earth orbit) satellite network. Satellites travel at much lower altitudes resulting in much lower latencies (I think easily below 50ms was what I read b…

Does anyone know what the UI of Edge is written in? Since it runs on Mac as well, have they ported some of the .Net UI frameworks to Mac or is it native all the way?

Curious, what makes Chromium better in your opinion? I have probably just touched the surface of the dev tools on both and haven‘t used any features that I would be missing on eith…

Honest question: how did you arrive at 1$/1000 mails? When I look at S3 peicing it says 0.005$/1000 PUTs. Are there a lot of requests made or am I missing something else?

How do you ensure that the 500 concurrent keep-alives land on different Lambda functions? I.e. requests 220 and onwards might hit lambda functions which were warmed up by requests …

Doesn't it have much higer payload to LEO and GTO though? It's much more than D-IVH payload if Wikipedia is to be believed: FH: 63800kg LEO, 26700kg GTO D-IVH: 28790kg LEO, 14220kg…

Can only second this, but my favorite was the SNES before.

Same here: best Zelda, best game ever. Don't play a lot but with BOTW spent the first days playing continuously without noticing it was already dark outside.
